Liam Payne has hit pause on what might have been his most daring movie venture yet.
The British singer has reportedly decided to halt plans for a candid film about his life, which was set to include some unseen home videos and detail his darkest moments.
Initially pitched in 2023, the project reportedly caught the attention of several production companies.
The idea was to debut the film on Netflix or Prime Video alongside the release of Liam's second solo album.
However, due to his poor health, Liam has now put the documentary on hold.
After being hospitalized twice last year, he has chosen to concentrate on his "health and music."
"This time last year, Liam was all fired up about his comeback and teasing new music, but then his health deteriorated," a source told The Sun.
"He has hours and hours of footage, and there was interest from various production companies, but in the end he decided not to take things further."
"While he is far better than he was towards the end of last year, Liam is still taking time out to focus on himself," the source explained.
"His comeback is a moving picture, but the plan is to release new music within the next two months. It's a tough old game, so I hope he takes his time with it."
Liam was first hospitalized with a kidney infection in August 2023 while rehearsing for his South American tour, which would have been his first solo trek since leaving One Direction.
Though he initially hoped the tour would be rescheduled, he was back in the hospital weeks later after falling ill during a trip to Lake Como, Italy, with his girlfriend, influencer Kate Cassidy.
Since then, the former "The X Factor" contestant has been taking things slow.
He released "Teardrops," his first track in three years, in March of this year, but has shared little about his upcoming project.
